Talk:Bank-Monument station

connection to Monument

The connection to Monument is an escalator, not a Travolator. There is a moving walkway (no longer an Otis Travolator) in the complex, between the W&C platforms and the Central Line. More at CULG (natch). --rbrwr

The moving walkway runs between the booking hall and the W&C not the Central line and W&C Wilmot1 15:36, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

WWII bomb

A WWII bomb hit the Bank junction in the 1940s, killing several people, collapsing a large part of the subway and disrupting traffic above. News of the bomb was suppressed to avoid giving the Germans a propaganda victory. It would be useful to include this in the article, but I don't have the full details. Anyone?

"The Underground at War" has the exact date, casualty lists, etc.:

Split?

Although they are connected, the stations are surely so far apart that they should have their own seperate articles. Lord Cornwallis (talk) 12:59, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Could we at least have the correct lat-longs for each bit? Railwayfan2005 (talk) 21:37, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Post Office line

I am not sure if this is the correct place to add my comment. I remember using Bank/Monument station when I was aged 11 in 1968, as far as I can recall there was an additional underground train line that was operated by the post office. The trains were smaller than the Central Line trains and the train conveyed passengers as well as parcels. Is this correct?

That'll be London Post Office Railway a.k.a. Mail Rail. "Passengers" were only carried on special occasions. Nick Cooper (talk) 10:53, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

New title

Woudln't it be sensible to rename this article simply Bank-Monument station, considering that it is also served by the DLR (not part of the London Underground)? Don Quixote is awesome (talk) 19:32, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Just moved it - never mind. Don Quixote is awesome (talk) 19:34, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

I think this should move to Bank and Monument stations. We seem to be inventing a double barrel name here that doesn't exist outside Wikipedia. [1] MRSC (talk) 05:48, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Actually quite a few TfL and media sources call it Bank-Monument. I think the main talking point is usually the complex which surrounds the three stations (Bank LU, Monument LU and Bank DLR). CrossHouses (talk) 06:15, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Have you got links? I see bank and monument far more than Bank-Monument. In particular from TfL sources [2] [3] MRSC (talk) 09:02, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
